A few words about us

Vehicle History

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is a federal database containing automobile information from states, insurance carriers and the salvage industry. The information is available to the public, and can provide valuable information about a vehicle's history. Vehicle histories are only $5.99 for a report containing information from participating state DMVs, insurance carriers, salvage auctions and auto recyclers. To begin create an account and login.

Sample Reports

NMVTIS is intended to serve as a source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain owner or lien holder information or detailed information regarding a vehicle's repair history.

About NMVTIS

NMVTIS allows an electronic means to verify and exchange titling, brand, and odometer data among motor vehicle administrators, law enforcement officials, prospective purchasers, and insurance carriers. CarInspector.US is an affiliate of AutoDataDirect who contracts with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) to provide multi-state vehicle data using NMVTIS. NMVTIS is a department of Justice database operated by AAMVA.

NMVTIS data allows state titling agencies to verify the validity of ownership documents before they issue new titles. NMVTIS also keeps a history of all "brands" applied by any state to the vehicle. Brands are labels that define the status of a vehicle such as Flood, Salvage, or Rebuilt. NMVTIS helps ensure that brands are not removed from a title as a vehicle moves from one titling state to another.

History Reports Provide:

  • Junk, salvage, and insurance total loss data
  • Current state of title
  • Previous state of title
  • Odometer readings
  • Current brand(s)
  • Previous brand(s)
  • Date the brands were applied (in NMVTIS-compliant states)

Why is NMVTIS important?

  • Auto fraud is a profitable business.
  • VIN cloning is a growing trend.
  • Some 570,000 vehicles were affected in 2005 by hurricanes. These vehicles are now perfect targets for vehicle title fraud, also known as brand washing.
